Do a few grams worth of beta alanine, say up to 10grams and then tell me if you want to drink black tea!

- jerry1979 3y agoWhat will happen if someone tries this?
- switchbak 3y agoI’ve experienced tingling sensations, like pins and needles, not sure if that’s what they’re referring to.
- darkclouds 3y agoThe paresthesia you refer to when taking beta alanine is much less intense than the paresthesia experienced if doing 500mgs of nicotinic acid. Side note. If anyone drops 500mg of nicotinic acid, the skin flushing effect and inflammation which can be likened to the sunburn effect, will be seen most where the skin is exposed to UV light because it rebinds the frayed strands of DNA in cells. Its not what I'm referring to though.
- FollowingTheDao 3y agoTaking beta-alanine will increase Carnosine synthase activity and probably lead to a depletion of magnesium and/or manganese since they are the co-factors for the enzyme. So this effect will differ based on genetic and nutrition. https://www.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/A5YM72/entry https://www.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/A5YM72/entry

- darkclouds 3y agoIt will increase carnosine in the body, more if you exercise than are just sedentary, but beta alanine is concentrated in places like the olfactory bulb so will increase your sense of smell amongst other things, but its still not what I'm referring to. Side note: If the aim is to increase carnosine in the body, I'd do carnosine as its better absorbed than beta alanine according to some studies, and then there's the remyelinating effect of histidine on the nervous system amongst other things, which is beneficial for some types of mental acuity, useful if you want to be a stand up comedian or some other verbally quick witted individual.
- anigbrowl 3y agoWell, what are you referring to? People's time is valuable, and figuring out some chemical puzzle for your amusement doesn't seem like a good use of it.
- darkclouds 3y agoBeta Alanine and Bupropion will make you go off black tea, the beta alanine will make you throw up, the Bupropion will make you switch to green tea. Ergo, is black tea really healthy for you, despite being the most drunk form of tea? I think beta alanine could be used for addictive leaf based products, ie tea, cocaine and tobacco.
- anigbrowl 3y agoI guess I won't bother taking beta alanine then? I'm not sure how you conclude that ingesting something that disagrees with tea means that tea is bad. I used to drink more tea and now drink more water, perhaps because I exercise more which might raise beta alinine levels. But I haven't noticed any ill effects and greatly enjoy the large cup of tea I have at the end of my workout.
- Tagbert 3y agoWhat does that have to do with tea?
- LegitShady 3y agoI don’t know about how interacts with tea, but gym bro forums have talked about itching and anal itching in particular. Maybe the tea makes that worse? No idea.
- jsf01 3y agoWhat’s the connection between beta alanine and tea? Is it just the caffeine in the tea that causes some effect when they’re used in combination?
- frickinLasers 3y agoIt's been two hours, and still I have no idea what beta-alanine has to do with tea.
